The Starry Night (Tribute to Van Gogh)

Vlad Gerasimov · 24 October 2018
I started drawing this wallpaper with a very different idea in mind - I simply wanted to draw a night sea. Somewhere in the middle of the process, I found myself putting a lot of short small brush strokes, as some kind of meditation. And it started resembling the famous Van Gogh painting. Well, why not? -- I thought -- let's make a tribute! So here it is, a tribute to wonderful Starry Night by Van Gogh.
I tried to make it similar in style and subject, but at the same time stick to my style. This is why the strokes are much smaller and the colors are darker.
One of the reasons I love drawing dark night wallpapers is the fact that your monitor emits light. It really brings moon and stars to life! They literally shine on your screen.

A1Elements · 1 November 2018Hey, I'm glad you're back. New theme is amazing :)
I was supposed to download 1080x1920 resolution for my iPhone 6s Plus, now it's downloading a 1920x1920 which doesn't fit on my screen and I can't find 1080x1920 in download screen. Can you fix it please?

Jaemi Kehoe · 2 November 2018This is great! I love Van Gogh, and am in the process of doing a cross stitch version of Starry Night. Looking at this makes me feel calm, which is a nice bonus.
